A Mangalore magistrate's court ordered the filing of an FIR against Union Minister for Women and Child Welfare Renuka Chowdhury in a case registered by the Mangalore mayor, BJP's Ganesh Hosabettu, against her.

Thousands of Indians, many fuming over a recent assault on women in a Mangalore pub, are vowing to fill bars on Valentine's Day and send cartons of pink panties to Sri Ram Sene that has branded outgoing females immoral.

Terming Sri Ram Sene as a 'threat' to India, P Chidambaram said the Centre was watching its activities closely. Meanwhile, disassociating from Ram Sene, the RSS said it had no objection if the govt decided to ban the outfit.
